Oklahoma has long been analogous with Bingo. That is due to the fact that the Native tribes of Oklahoma have provided Bingo sessions for many years. Patrons from all of the nearby states pile in passenger cars and head over to Oklahoma to enjoy Bingo on the weekends.

The 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) followed a benchmark ruling by The U.S. Supreme Court the year before. Since that time, twenty three of the 39 Native tribes located in Oklahoma have established gambling halls. The Chickasaw were the initial Oklahoma Amerindian tribes to take advantage of the wagering laws, and today operate 10 gambling halls of their very own. Bingo is the game on which the above-mentioned gambling halls were built on. Electronic games like slot machine games weren’t allowed, since they’re thought to contribute to gambling addiction at a higher rate than bingo.

In the past few years, Oklahoma governing edicts has altered to permit enormous American Indian gambling gambling halls. You’ll now see Indian casinos with slots, video poker and 21 tables. Craps and roulette are not yet authorized in the Native casinos yet, however this is just a waiting game. Nobody can say what having other gambling hall games in the bingo houses will do for the popularity of bingo.
